Man gets 1 year for luring minor

A man accused of luring a minor under the age of 15 for sex was sentenced Tuesday in Pima County Superior Court to one year in prison.

Ismael Delgado, 46, pleaded guilty to the charge in connection with an incident in April.

Delgado was accused of approaching a girl at the Martha Cooper Branch Library, 1377 N. Catalina Ave., where he asked her personal questions, rubbed her arm and gave her his phone number. The girl told library workers and her parents about the incident.

Delgado was arrested after police set up what he thought would be a meeting for sex with the girl, whom he believed to be 14 years old.

Delgado was originally charged with luring a minor under the age of 15 for sex and attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
